Notes to My Pen Pal

I’m sorry I’ve been gone, I’ve had good reason-

I’ve been feeling all the extremes and writing about it, hoping somehow this grief gives life to a book.

there is life amidst death

I’ve read somewhere…

Surely you understand the vortex I’ve been in.

You’re a troubled writer, too.

Tell me, where are you these days? still traveling the world?

What have you written lately?

I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.
